Yes Hair, No Bull

YEP – she has a beautiful head of hair – see it peeking out? I think she looks great without the ole bonnet, but she isn’t quite ready to go without.

I walked from my haircut today to the bakery. I am just on cloud 9 with all this walkability! I had a slice of Cinnamon Raisin Walnut there while Matt and I worked on some things. Then I walked home!

Karen came over for dinner and we made a new Charlottesville famous burger –

The No Bull burger. I’ve been hearing about these and seeing them around places like the farmer’s market. They are locally made and come frozen. We popped some in the oven for dinner tonight and they turned out to be delicious! Onions and all – I can hardly believe it! They are lentil and barley based with spinach, carrot, onion, soy sauce, some egg and seasonings. All real food. They are popping up on restaurant menus too – so it’s exciting to know that I like ‘em even if I do continue to make my own veggie burgers most of the time.

I baked them for about 25 minutes at 400* (they were still a bit frozen – oops) but that allowed the outside to get supppper crispy – loved it.

To go with, we roasted sweet potato cubes at 400* for 30 minutes [coated in EVOO, salt and pepper]

And we sautéed a head of cabbage in apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Simple, but good.

The cabbage sauteed with ACV and Worsh sauce sounds awesome and the sweet potato cubes roasted up look perfect. I like to roast my sweet taters in coconut oil + cinnamon. They are almost candy-like then

Glad you both are sporting new hair do’s this week, too. Fun to get your hair done!

Those are my sister’s veggie burgers!! I was going to write to you about them so imagine my surprise when I opened up your blog tonight and you had them for dinner! So glad you liked them. My sister, Crissanne Raymond, been making them for our family and friends for the last 25 years or so and she always said she was going to do something with them someday… and now she has! I’m so proud of her!! She and her daughters opened NoBull Burgers the Gourmet Veggie Burger this past January, (the name of the company is Oh My Gosh..Yum! cause that’s what people say when they try them) and the response has been wonderful. Thank you so much for featuring them in your blog. Come see us at the Charlottesville City Market -we’ll be there this Saturday morning!

Hi Kath – Needless to say, your post about our NoBull burgers has caused quite a stir in our family. My sister wants to personally thank you with a free package of burgers. Please stop by and see us at the City Market on Saturday morning. We’ll both be there. If you can’t make it then, we’ll be at the last of the season, Farmers In The Park market on Meade Ave. on Wednesday afternoon from 3 – 7. Thank you again so very much. Also, congrats about being featured in “O”!! that is so cool!

You two ladies are beautiful inside and out! I went in for a “cut” yesterday and chickened out ending up with more of a “trim”… I guess I just have more time to decide what I really want! Looks like a tasty, healthy, satisfying, fun to make and eat dinner that was enjoyed with the perfect company. “Simple, but good”, can’t beat that!

I’ve never been able to find a packaged veggie burger that I like – but these sound awesome! And I love that they’re made with all real ingredients too. Frozen veggie burgers are usually packed with weird additives. 😛

Ah-Ha! You have stumbled over to the dark side…once you try the No Bull Burgers your freezer will always be stocked with them! They are my favorite EZdinner! I am responding to this post while finishing off my first attempt at overnight oats in the remnants of my sunbuttah jar Delicious!
BTW, fabulous new “-do”!

Love your hair (and new to your blog and I’m enjoying it)! Are the “Bull Burgers” available in California too? They sound good and I’d like to try them. Thanks for the great inspiration with simple and “real” cooking!

I had a No Bull Burger for the first time during 4th of July. My vegetarian friend brought them. While my friend was cooking burgers and brats, I saw the lone veggie burger left, and I asked if I could have it. I didn’t touch a single beef burger or brat. It was so delicious and fulfilling. It was the best veggie burger I ever had. In fact, Relay Foods stocks them and delivers in Charlottesville and Richmond so I purchased some for myself. A little pricey but they are big and good. I said to myself – why not. I could break them in half to stretch their use. Go pick them up tomorrow. Excited!
